I am totally in love with the fruit here - both the quality and selection. Everytime I go to the feira I buy something new to try out and I havent been disappointed yet!

So far my favorites are jaca for eating and graviola for juice.

Oh man, this is going to be great! I absolutely love fresh tropical fruit, which is of course fairly uncommon here in Wisconsin! Sounds like maybe I should bring a juicing machine down to Salvador with me?

I love acid fruit. "Bananas" aren't exactly Brazilian, but asian(!) So, let's see.

* Acerolas – the one from the bush, the red variation. The ones you buy at the supermarket usually don't taste as good.

* Guavas – I prefer the red ones. They're a bit softer, more sour and sweeter.

* Araçás – Smaller, unkown cousins from guavas. They're sweeter, and they taste amazing when they're mature!

* Brazilian cherries (Pitangas) – Also very sour, they taste amazing, and they're rich in calcium(!). Extremely hard to find, as they're not produced commercially. They can be found near our rainforests. They also make amazing ice creams! (Again, *if* you can find them...)

* Açaí – Oh god, I *hate* this one. Some people say they don't feel this sort of taste at all, but some, like me, do. I particularly feel I'm eating beans mixed with dirt. Ew! This one is truly a love or hate one. They make outstanding perfume, and make-up though. By the way, be warned: this fruit will make you gain weight like hell!

Mmmm, I can't remember of anything else right now.
